problem with files from DVD/CD
I think I need to tweek something on my PC (Vista home premium). When trying to open folders/ files from a cd (from a magazine for example) all i get is a load of computer jargon, not an ilustration or what ever it should be. Any ideas please?
Thanks MCC |

Thank you Miles,, All I have to go on is, when the comp jargon is displayed, the first line is "PDF-1.3" Don't know if that is of any use to you. Regards Michael |

Regards Michael -- MCC124 I haven't seen that error message before. However, many of the files I've seen with file names ending in .pdf would not open until I installed a PDF reader program. I chose this one, partly because it's free: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ If you are still using the Windows Mail program that comes with Vista, I do NOT recommend installing the Free Google Toolbar - it often stops Windows Mail from running properly.
